Steve
was taken aback and asked, “The square treasure building is constructed from metal. The detector didn’t pick it up. Does that mean it’s not here?”
“It’s hard to say,” Hank replied. “Peter Zhou is quite clever. Given that he had the audacity to steal the Sifang Bao Mansion, he must have made thorough preparations. This vi has more than ten hidden rooms, so there might be one we haven’t discovered yet.”
“Good point!” Steve agreed, nodding. “Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground of the Zhou family estate, we will locate the four-square treasure building for me!”
Hank responded with a hint of frustration, “At this moment, digging deep into the ground isn’t practical. The FBI has warned us that going too far could create significant issues. Moreover, we’ve missed our chance with Peter Zhou. The entire country is criticizing us, and if we proceed to dig into the Zhou family’s property, we risk making the situation even worse.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Steve considered this thoughtfully, saying, “Peter Zhou is still in the hospital, but I suspect he’ll be discharged soon. By that time, we may face overwhelming external pressure, preventing us from sending him back to prison. If he chooses to return here for acquittal, he might just lead us to the Sifang Treasure Tower himself.”
At this point, Steve calmly suggested, “Sometimes, it’s better not to catch the mouse stealing food but to let it go.”
“Follow it quietly, find where it hides its food, and then provide it with a nest full of goodies!” When Hank heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, “Young Master, you’re absolutely right! If Peter Zhou is released and we follow him discreetly, he will undoubtedly lead us to the Sifang Treasure Building!”
Steve smiled slightly and said, “I’ll call my fatherter to arrange for Peter Zhou’s acquittal and see if he returns here. If he does, we’ll have the upper hand in this deal.”

Meanwhile, in Chinatown, at Chen Kee Roast Goose.
Today isn’t a weekend or a traditional Chinese festival, yet Chinatown is vibrant with colorful decorations and bustling activity.
Outside Chen Kee Roast Goose, arge crowd had gathered. Several lion dance teams arrived from various directions, apanied by the rhythm of gongs and drums, and performed a lively dance in front of the roast goose shop.
Charlie was intrigued and asked a man nearby, “Brother, why are so many people doing the lion dance in front of Chen Kee Roast Goose?”
The man smiled and replied, “Brother, Gunbir, the owner of the roast goose shop, is now the new leader of the entire Chinese gang! He not only expelled the Burning Angel from Chinatown and reimed control, but he also announced this morning that the Chinese gang will cease collecting protection fees from local merchants. This is incredibly significant for us small business owners. It’s fantastic news!”
Since the establishment of Chinatown, it has struggled to free itself from gang control. Merchants have always been subjected to protection fees, either paid to local gangs in the U.S. or to Chinese gangs within Chinatown. Until today, the Chinese gang has officially stopped demanding these fees.<fne5c5> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find?novel</fne5c5>
